"It certainly is good news. The SSPX continues to uphold the teachings of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. As far as I'm concerned, you and New Rome can continue to play hug-a-mullah, kiss-a-koran, hug-a-hindu, bow to buddha, kiss-a-koffi. I don't lose sleep over it. I'm Catholic, not Novus."
Translation: "My little sect is the only true Church left. The contemporary popes, bishops, ecumenical council, and one billion followers are all heretics!"
Numbers are beside the point. So is your status, whether bishop or lowly parishioner. Only the true faith matters--and that, sadly, has not been in wide currency the past forty years.
But let me take your point one step further. What are your vaunted "contemporary popes, bishops, ecumenical council, and one billion followers", compared to all the preceding saints, popes and councils and faithful departed since apostolic times?
This New Church, after all, has been around a mere forty years. Traditional Catholicism has existed for two thousand. It is the essence of modernism, however, to think it knows better than all who went before--that politically correct moderns know better because they are more intelligent than those who went before. This is sheer arrogance, neither wisdom nor piety.
